Music: Cool Thursdays

The Dallas Arboretum concert series overlooks the picturesque White Rock Lake on the award-winning Martin Rutchik Concert Stage and Lawn.

Cool Thursdays concert series continues every Thursday this spring and early summer and again in the fall. Gates open at 6pm, spring concerts begin at 7:30pm and fall concerts begin at 7pm.

On-site parking is complimentary for all concerts and we encourage guests to take advantage of the close covered parking available at the parking garage.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early and bring low-to-the-ground chairs and blankets. In addition to the coolest view of White Rock Lake, attendees can bring picnics and beverages or purchase food from some of DFW's favorite food trucks. The gardens are also open to stroll through before the concert to enjoy the stunning floral spring displays.
